BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 5
By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:
Production of building materials has increased in Turkmenistan, Trend reports with reference to Business Turkmenistan information portal.
The enterprise for the production of building materials under the municipal administration of Turkmenistan’s Dashoguz region produced and delivered to construction sites 6,000 cubic meters of concrete slabs, 1.1 million baked bricks, and more than 2,400 cubic meters of expanded clay from January through September of this year.
Currently, about 2,500 large facilities are being built in Turkmenistan with a total cost of more than $37 billion.
The metallurgical and gas-concrete plants in Ovadan Depe in the country’s Ahal province contribute to the diversification of the national economy.
Turkmen enterprises also produce leer panels, reinforced blocks, expanded clay, prefabricated reinforced concrete products, ceramic bricks, and facing slabs.
Large-panel housing construction plants, designed for manufacturing reinforced concrete structures for the construction of multi-storey residential buildings and cottage style houses, greatly increased their capacities.
The output volumes of ceramic bricks, rebars, metal profiles, plastic, and fiberglass pipes has increased as well.
Turkmenistan’s rich natural resources make it possible to increase the production of expanded clay, the main component of which is argillite, which is extracted at the Yagman field in the country’s Balkan province.
